    contacts won't load from phone

    Having this issue also. Mazda connect stopped importing my iPhone 7 contacts. Unpaired, deleted, and re-paired multiple times no luck. I have a ‘17 CX-5 purchased in July. Is it possible my software is out of date? Do I need to take it in to dealer to update if so?

    CX-5 Sales continue to set records

    https://www.dailybreeze.com/2018/02/02/u-s-auto-sales-up-1-in-january-but-full-year-drop-expected/ I chuckled a little and did a little happy dance when I read this: "Honda Motor Co. said sales were down 1.7 percent to 104,542. Truck and SUV sales fell 2.5 percent while cars were off just under...

    Average MPG - 1st 1k miles on '17 CX-5 FWD Touring

    Not yet, but those are good suggestions. I should be filling up soon so I'll measure it next time and also reset everything.

    Average MPG - 1st 1k miles on '17 CX-5 FWD Touring

    I guess I don't feel quite as bad. I'm hoping it gets better from here? (dunno)

    Average MPG - 1st 1k miles on '17 CX-5 FWD Touring

    I'm coming up on my first 1k miles on my new CX-5 and wanted to report my average MPG and wanted to see what everyone else is averaging. I seem to think mine is quite, well, average (uhm) I commute roughly 50 miles roundtrip per day for work, 60% city streets, 40% fwy. I'm sitting in traffic...

    Can you update us and let us know if you pulled the trigger or not on the 2017 or 2016.5?

    '17 CX-5: Charging phones via USB outlets in the center console?

    I don't care so much for a back-up sensor since there's a camera, but including a front parking sensor with the Preferred Equipment Package would've been nice :)

    An Interesting Opportunity to Compare

    Why don't you just trade in your CX5 and hop on the CRV bandwagon already? I've owned several Hondas in the past 15+ years before jumping ship. I don't miss driving a Honda one bit. It's boring, it's predictable, and everyone and their mom owns one. You keep stating all the points that make the...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Dealers don't generally like cash buyers since there's no room for them to make money anywhere else in the deal. They generally get a small commission or incentive for getting someone to finance through the dealer's bank or the manufacturer's finance arm. If you have enough cash to pay for the...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    They're probably quoting you tax based on LA county tax rate. I see you're from Irvine. If vehicle is registered in OC, you're looking at a couple hundred dollars less in tax, but $2893 for TTL is about right for LA given the price they quoted for the car.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    It's at the discretion of the manufacturer as special financing offers are manufacturer incentives offered directly to the consumer. Mazda may give additional monthly, quarterly, or year-end incentives to dealers, which is not typically disclosed to the public. This allows the dealers to mark...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Puente Hills and Cerritos Mazda were giving me pretty good offers on '17. I would look at the dealers' inventory page to see how many '16.5 they still have to get rid of. Those are the dealers that may be more determined to sell for cheap.

    '17 CX-5: Charging phones via USB outlets in the center console?

    You might be right. I guess I'll have to stick with my cigarette lighter adapter. I guess Mazda hasn't quite caught up with 2005 technology in certain aspects, but I digress.....

    '17 CX-5: Charging phones via USB outlets in the center console?

    How strange! I thought maybe it was my cable, so I plugged the cable into a cigarette adapter and it charged that way. Took the cable off, plugged in to the USB outlet and NADA. Annoying!

    '17 CX-5: Charging phones via USB outlets in the center console?

    I was following and replying to a thread on the CX-5 Audio forum, but that place is dead so I'll ask here. Anyone able to charge their phones with a USB cable via the 2 USB ports in the center console? I know the manual says it's USB audio, but just curious because I saw conflicting reports...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Which dealers are you working with? I'm in LA and emailed a TON of dealers while I was looking for my '17.
